INSTALAUNCH
Flagship delivery model

Instalaunch

Your payroll go-live, fully owned by Mercans.

Mercans runs your entire implementation — both sides of the plan. We embed senior project leadership directly into your team and take end-to-end accountability for the go-live, including the tasks that would normally sit with you. We chase every dependency. We drive every decision to closure. We deliver a live, validated payroll on the committed date.

One plan · one owner
Hours, not headcount
Embedded senior PMs
You don't manage the project.
You don't staff a PMO.
You don't carry the delivery risk.
We do.
01
One plan, one owner

Implementations slip when a project has two owners. Instalaunch gives it one.

A conventional implementation splits the plan in two: the provider runs its tasks, and your team runs yours — data readiness, internal coordination, sign-offs. Every handoff between the two sides is a place where the date can slip. Instalaunch closes that gap by putting the whole plan under one Mercans owner.

What Instalaunch gives you

Complete end-to-end accountability

01
One accountable team

Mercans owns the outcome of the entire implementation — not just its own tasks.

02
Embedded project leadership

Senior Mercans project managers seconded into your organization for the duration of the go-live.

03
Your side of the plan, managed for you

Data readiness, internal coordination, and sign-off tracking driven by Mercans.

04
A protected go-live date

Proactive dependency and risk management from day one.

05
A clean handover to BAU

Your payroll live, reconciled, and validated.

06
One team. One accountability.

Both sides of the plan.

03
Who does what

Mercans absorbs the plan. You keep the decisions.

Instalaunch inverts the classic responsibility split. The tasks that consume your team in a conventional implementation move to Mercans. What stays with you is what only you can do: decide, approve, and grant access. Flip the switch to compare.
